The twat look one would maybe be ok for spares. And sell all the junk off it to the rust sheep. The white one has promise.

Not doka especially but the silly oil cooler on the 1.9td and for that matter on the 1.8 petrol 20 valve turbo. Can you remove the cooler and spin the filter directly onto the housing? The cooling from the things must be pretty poor and the things always seem to seep oil so i thought bin the fucker.

I suppose it depends on whether you’re running T4 power or useable ‘at least keep up with modern traffic’ power. Some fit upgraded oil coolers so I wouldn’t ever delete one. If the 1.8t one is anything like as accessible as the 1.9 one then you’ve got nothing to complain about. Wait until you have to change one on a 5 pot unless you’ve done one already. They’re a bastard.

I would of thought running without an oil cooler would add additional wear at cold temps, midrange to decondensate moisture in the block and the same at high temps to reduce the oil igniting circa 200°C and definitely reduce wear and tear once the engine is switched off and the auxiliary is engaged. Could it be a reason for the longevity of the VAG 1.9's perhaps?

Thing is Rob its not a proper oil cooler more a half way house. The same unit was dogged with problems on the Volvo 2.0 and 2,3 petrol turbos. Eventually done away with from factory and it didnt stop those motors tugging fat Lovejoys around grossly overloaded for 3 or 400,000 mile or more. Their crap and will be binned if i can. I may fit a real oil cooler to the 1.8 but we'll see.
